Bill 15 and legislative guarantees of health and social services in English This brief presents a review of the impact of Bill 15 on certain key provisions of the legislative guarantees of health and social services in English. Bill 15 proposes to renew the framework for the health and social services system. A central feature is the establishment of Santé Québec that will amalgamate and control the public network. The Minister will retain functions with regard to priorities, objectives and orientations, as well as exercise certain powers to supervise the system. Taking into account changes to network operations and governance, the brief will review the Bill’s impact on two key elements of the application of the entitlement to services in English. Specifically, amendments are proposed to secure the development of access programs at the institutional level; to add access mechanisms to access programs; and to anchor regional access committees to the institutions required to implement access programs.
